What is the only letter that does not appear in any US state name?

Q
Well, my trivia-savvy friends, the answer is…Q. That’s right—50 different names, and not one of them contains the letter Q. Every other letter of our alphabet shows up at least once (well, unless you count these 6 letters that dropped out of our alphabet.)

What state does not have an E in it?

The answer to the “State without an E” riddle is “Stat.” The riddle is asking the responder to simply spell the initial word “state” without an “a” in the word. That’s why it’s worded a little oddly.

What states have the letter A in them?

Are there any states that only have a B?

There are couple of other rare letters, too, that only show up twice. No states except Alabama and Nebraska have a B in their name, and California and Florida are the only state names that contain F. If X was your guess, you were also close—the rare letter makes an appearance in only New Mexico and Texas.

Are there any states that don’t have J?

Every other letter of our alphabet shows up at least once (well, unless you count these 6 letters that dropped out of our alphabet .) If you guessed J or Z, though, you were close—and probably don’t live in New Jersey or Arizona, since those are the only states that contain J and Z, respectively.
